The fourth largest city in Poland, Wroclaw is the thriving centre of the Lower Silesia region. It also acts as a stepping stone for hikers and ramblers due to its proximity to the country’s most stunning mountain scenery.
The River Odra neatly encircles the city, creating tranquil islets connected by elegant bridges. Indeed, there are more than 100 bridges over the river and numerous island havens. These Venetian style features are what give Wroclaw its distinctive charm. Exploring these islands is a real pleasure, each with its own story to tell. Wyspa Piasek is one of the most notable examples, where a cluster of historic buildings stand. Across the bridge, neighbouring Ostrow Tumski is the site of five medieval churches.
Wroclaw’s main square nestles at the heart of the city, and is the thriving hub of restaurant and cafe culture. Dine al fresco whilst looking
